Congrats man!! Can’t wait to see the tank unwrapped. Did you open the container prior to signing for the crate?
I didnt
I should have
They stacked something on top that leaked oil in the crate
Luckily Felix used a 2 inch foam piece to cover the entire top which saved the day

Kevin Burda’s masterpiece arrived today completely intact due to an amazing packing/crating job
